Utpanna Ekadashi Vrat story -
In the Satyug there lived a demon named Mur, the son of Taaljanghakaa. He was extraordinarily brave and intelligent.He defeated Indra, the king of gods, and drove out all the gods from heaven. They were distressed and went to Lord Shiva to seek His help. Lord Shiva advised the gods to go to Lord Vishnu to seek His help. At the advice of Lord Shiva, the gods went to Lord Vishnu. With folded hands they prayed to Lord Vishnu and told Him what had happened to them and requested Him to help them and protect them from him (the demon Mur).
Lord Vishnu attacked Mur and defeated him. Mur ran away. Lord Vishnu saw Mur running. He (Vishnu) entered a cave at Badrika Ashram to take rest there. Mur was still angry with Vishnu and wanted to kill Him. So he went into the cave in which Vishnu was sleeping. Just then a beautiful maiden came out from Vishnu's body. She attacked Mur and killed him. Lord Vishnu woke up,saw all this and blessed her (the maiden)by saying," As you have been created from my body so hence forth you will be known as Utpanna and you will be able to remove the problems of the gods as well as human beings.The persons who worship you, will get salvation and be free from sins and attain Vaikunth." Getting this boon she disappeared.This divine maiden is called as Utapanna Ekadashi.
